I just received a copy, of the cover, of my new book Building Faces. Like my other book from Reed Publishing the cover art work is magnificent.

The book should be available soon, I can’t wait to see it! With Reed I typically don’t see any of the formating or art work until it is all done. So it is a big surprise, and so far a very pleasant one.

Now that summer is officially over, you may be thinking about getting down to writing again. Here is a quick video on how to decide if your book idea is a good one. It is for children’s books, but the principals are the same for adult books as well. Enjoy.    - Write It…or Rethink It?.

Due to lack of enrollment my writing for magazines course set to start October 6 has been canceled. I will try running it as a 4 night course again Januaray 19th to 28th.

Are you interested in tackling the vast magazine market, getting your views out to the public or using your experience and  knowledge to help others? Well then Writing for Magazines may be the course for you.  Over 12 hours we will discus the anatomy of a magazine, how to pick markets that are right for you story, and how to make an editor want to commission your work. We will also take a look at the business of magazine writing, including copyright and the lucrative market for recycling.
